Dionne Warwick: Peralada Festival

O wydarzeniu

Enjoy a special evening with Dionne Warwick at the Peralada Festival 2012.

Legendary pioneer for over 40 years, the great Dionne Warwick, aunt of recently diseased Whitney Houston, plays the soundtrack music to several generations around the world. Winner of many Grammy Awards, her unique sound blends pop, R & B and jazz.

The first performances at the Castell de Peralada International Music Festival took place in 1987 and since then it has been held, without exception, during the months of July and August at the historical venue of Castillo de Peralada. In 1992, it became part of the select European Festivals Association (EFA), which underlined it as a high‐quality festival on a par with other important festivals such as Bayreuth, Berlin, Florence and Salzburg. The Castell de Peralada Festival showcases recitals by famous singers, symphony and choir concerts, operas, musical theatre, dance, jazz, pop, chamber music concerts and family‐orientated performances.

The festival actively supports Spanish composers and artists and commissions projects and musical scores with the aim of enriching the cultural variety on offer in Spain. At the same time, soloists and prestigious international ensembles from different artistic fields are invited to take part. This philosophy has allowed Peralada to enjoy a widespread fame and has positioned the festival as one of the most important cultural events in Spain during the summer period.
